Pregnant Man Scores big on Oprah
The April 3rd Oprah Winfrey Show which was in collaboration with People Magazine and featured Thomas Beattie, a transgendered man who is six months’ pregnant, received the program's eighth highest rating.
Beattie was born a female but became a 'man' 10 years ago having testosterone treatments and breast-removal surgery. However, Beattie kept her reproductive organs intact.
If Beatie is married to a woman, who impregnated him? A surrogate.
Beatie told Winfrey, "I'm a person, and I have the right to have my own biological child."
Beatie told People Magazine that his wife, Nancy, had a hysterectomy.
"If Nancy could get pregnant, I wouldn't be doing this. Who hires a surrogate if they are perfectly capable of carrying their own child?"
The baby, which is suppose to be a girl, is due this summer.
This is Thomas as Tracy -- before she changed her gender. She was a Miss Teen Hawaii finalist.
Sad.
